Chapter 13: The Covenant

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely gloomy, all because of Qin Shan's scolding.

After saying this, Qin Shan was a little incredulous, he dared to insult the Great Elder. And in front of so many people, this is not at all like his previous character. But at this moment, Qin Shan did not regret it at all, if he was allowed to choose again, he firmly believed that he would still choose to reprimand the Great Elder's despicable behavior.

The angry Chen Kun stared at Qin Shan viciously, with murderous intent on his face, he didn't expect that the strength of a once inconspicuous slave would not only skyrocket a lot, but also dare to insult him, a great elder with a respected status.

Although he had the urge to divide the five horses of Qin Shan in his heart, he still tried to restrain himself. After all, although Gu Tian is a waste now, he is still the nominal patriarch of the entire Gulong Village. No matter how ambitious he is, he can't be exposed at will at this moment. It is even more important to be thoughtful in doing things, you must know that he is not alone in power in the entire Gulong Village now, there is also a second elder.

Chen Kun and Tan Xiong seem to be very united, but when it comes to competing for the position of patriarch, no one can tell what the relationship between the two is for the sake of interests. But there will never be such harmony again, and the key to becoming the patriarch is not only to see the level of strength, but also to see who has more hearts in the clan.

"When a little slave grows a little stronger, does he think he can turn the sky upside down?" At this time, it was another elder who spoke, Tan Xiong. Immediately, he unleashed the power of his fifth-order peak muscle-building power, "Elder Ben will teach you what dignity and humility are today. ”

As he spoke, he prepared to attack Qin Mountain, and his momentum almost killed Qin Mountain with one blow.

"When did the second elder dare to discipline the slaves for Ben Shao with such great power, don't you know how to be respectful and humble?" Suddenly, a voice sounded, and immediately attracted the focus of everyone's attention. And the owner of that conversation was naturally Gu Yan, who had actually been observing everything that was happening here on the wall.

There is an unwritten rule among the tribes that the position of the patriarch can only be passed to the descendants of the patriarch. Now that Gu Tian is injured and deposed, then according to the rules, it should naturally be Gu Yan who holds the position of the patriarch, and in comparison, Gu Yan's status is naturally the highest. As an elder, he naturally has no right to interfere with his servants, and naturally he doesn't know how to be humble.

"It turned out to be our young patriarch, the old man is just teaching a slave who doesn't know how to be respectful, does the young patriarch even have to take care of it?" There was a threat in his words, and he didn't look at Gu Yan in his eyes at all.

But he didn't know that Gu Yan at this time was no longer the soft master he used to be, Gu Yan's momentum was upright, not only did he not show the slightest fear, but he suppressed Tan Xiong's momentum. Suddenly, not only Tan Xiong's face changed, but even Chen Kun's face also became a little blue.

They didn't expect that just over half a month later, a waste would have such a big change.

"It is up to me whether my slave is inferior or not, I am his master, and when will the second elder have such a right. Besides, now that my grandfather is seriously injured and can't handle the affairs of the clan, according to the rules, should I take over as the acting patriarch, two elders. Gu Yan asked the two Tan Xiong and Chen Kun with a smile on his face.

Immediately, the two of them found that things were getting more and more complicated, and everything that could have been done to get rid of Gu Yan was very simple. But now Gu Yan is not only not dead, but has also become mysterious, and the rules of this clan, as elders, they think that they can't take the lead in violating them, so they can only secretly anger in their hearts.

"Although what the young patriarch said is good, I think that the young patriarch is young now, and I am afraid that his ability is not enough. Chen Kun suddenly said stiffly, in his opinion, Gu Yan must not be allowed to sit on the position of the patriarch, and those neutral people in the clan may be co-opted by Gu Yan at that time, and then things will become more complicated and more difficult to control the situation.

"I also agree with the Great Elder, the young patriarch is really ······ old now" Just as Tan Xiong was halfway through speaking, Gu Yan interrupted him.

"Since the Great Elder said that what I said was good, then he agrees with what I just said. And I also want to ask, is there a speech in the ancestral precepts that the young patriarch cannot serve as the acting patriarch because he is young? Or do the two great elders have the right to tamper with the precepts? Gu Yan said with a straight face.

"Yes, yes, there is no rule in the clan motto that you can't speak as a acting patriarch when you are young. ”

"En, in my opinion, the young patriarch should serve as the acting patriarch, otherwise our Gulong village will be in chaos. ”

Those dozen or so clansmen all said to each other a word to you and a word to me. Chen Kun and Tan Xiong's faces suddenly became even more ugly, they didn't expect Gu Yan to bite the clan training so dead, but they couldn't find a suitable reason to refute Gu Yan.

"Gu Yan, why are you a famous waste as the Acting Patriarch. At this time, a sentence that was obviously a little discordant came out, and it was Chen Kun's grandson who said this, Chen Mingyi, who almost killed Gu Yan.

"Although the clan motto doesn't say the age of the acting patriarch, but you are a waste, how can you serve as the acting patriarch, don't you say?" Chen Mingyi walked to the middle of the crowd and pointed at Gu Yan with a look of righteous indignation.

And after listening to Chen Mingyi's words, those people also nodded in agreement. After all, the position of the acting patriarch is not a small example, and you have no ability, even if you barely sit on the throne, others may not listen to you. The previous Gu Yan was a waste again, and if it weren't for Gu Tian's help, it was hard to say whether he could become a martial artist.

At this time, Gu Yan walked towards the crowd without saying anything, "Uncle Da, I don't know what you mean?" Gu Yan asked respectfully towards a man who was carrying a hundred forged bows, holding his hands, and his thick beard and hair almost covering his entire face.

This man's name is Pang Hai, he is the captain of the hunting team in the village, and he is the strongest person except for the two elders and the patriarch. Not only that, but his greatest skill is his magic archery, and he returns with a full load every hunt, and his status in the village is very high.

In addition to this, he and several other Skin Refining Stage masters formed a hunting team. He never participated in the struggle of forces in the village, but only contributed to the killing of wild beasts in the village, and was the most powerful among the neutral forces, and the most popular party.

Because his attitude is very hard, he neither takes refuge in the side of the patriarch, nor does he stand on the side of the two elders, and his strength is not weak, so he is also a special person in Gulong Village. And today's matter about this generation patriarch, Gu Yan just wanted to see if this Pang Hai had any opinions, after all, it was related to his purpose and the future interests of the entire village.

Tan Xiong and Chen Kun looked at Pang Hai, and they didn't dare to underestimate him, after all, if they really talked about fighting alone, they might have some upper hand, but if it was about their survival ability and adaptability in the barren forest, the two of them would definitely only be tortured and killed. Secondly, they are also very afraid of the strength of the hunting team, which is not weaker than their existence in the slightest.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly stopped, and everyone's eyes shifted to Pang Hai.

"The clan motto cannot be violated, but the current patriarch should also have the strength to do it. In just one sentence, Chen Kun and Tan Xiong suddenly showed joy on their faces. Looking at Pang Hai's meaning, he wants Gu Yan to show his real skills, in their eyes, Gu Yan is a complete waste.

At this time, Gu Yan was a lot happier in his heart, after all, he knew that this Pang Hai had not yet taken refuge in the elder's lineage, otherwise it would be much more troublesome to subdue the power of the village when the time came.

"Well, in that case, may I ask the two elders, how can it be regarded as proof that I have strength?"

Before Tan Xiong could speak, Chen Kun said, "As long as you can overcome Mingyi, then I have nothing to say." "He is very clear about the strength of his own grandson, since he came back from the trial conference, he has eaten beast meat almost every day, and he has also mastered a medium combat skill, and his cultivation has already been at the peak of the third order of skin refining, which can be called the first person of the younger generation in the ancient dragon village.

As soon as he heard that he was going to compete with Chen Mingyi, even Pang Hai, who had been expressionless, couldn't help but feel slightly moved. Chen Mingyi's strength is very clear to him, because last time at Chen Kun's request, Chen Mingyi went out hunting with the hunting team, but he killed a pig whose strength was comparable to the strength of the late third-order stage with his bare hands.

"I don't know what the Second Elder thinks?" Gu Yan asked with a smile. Everyone was puzzled that Gu Yan could still laugh at this time.

"Does this kid have any hole cards? No way, no matter how much hole cards a waste has, it can't be Ming'er's opponent. Chen Kun secretly analyzed in his heart.

Tan Xiong naturally had nothing to say, after all, the younger generation present, whose strength could compare to Chen Mingyi. He was naturally the best candidate to test Gu Yan.

looked at everyone, especially Chen Mingyi, with a smug look on his face.

"If it's a battle, then there will be an accident, what if someone is injured?" Gu Yan actually revealed such a sentence, and everyone else thought that Gu Yan was afraid of death, and wanted to ask for a life talisman first. But they knew Gu Yan's plan there, and only Qin Shan looked at the others with a sneer.

"Since it is a battle, it is natural that you should go all out, your fists and feet are eyeless, and injuries are inevitable, if the young patriarch is afraid of being injured, you can directly choose to admit defeat. Chen Kun looked shameless, he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Gu Yan, so naturally he would not interfere too much with the rules.

"Great Elder, wouldn't it be bad if they were all people of the same clan, what if I accidentally abolished Cousin Mingyi? Gu Yan pretended to be helpless, as if he was very worried that he would hurt Chen Mingyi.

"It turns out that the young patriarch is worried about hurting Chen Mingyi, it seems that the young patriarch is really a good person!"

"The young patriarch is really a good person. Everyone else nodded approvingly.

Seeing Gu Yan insulting himself like this, how could the arrogant Chen Mingyi stand it, and looked at Gu Yan with an angry face, "You and I compete, life and death have their own destiny." Waste cousin, my cousin will be merciful when the time comes. ”

"Okay, life and death are all in peace. As soon as Chen Mingyi's words came out, Gu Yan immediately responded.

What Gu Yan was afraid of was that Chen Mingyi would not agree, and now that he took the initiative to make such a request, it was strange that Gu Yan did not kill him.
